On Wednesday, Nov. 12, more lucky MetroBus customers are in for a "WINSday" surprise during their public transit trips. Metro, STL250 and the Missouri Lottery have partnered to offer Missouri Lottery free play coupons (while supplies last). Passengers 18 and older, who are riding on the special STL250 MetroBus vehicle between the hours of 6 - 9 a.m., are eligible.

"It’s been fun celebrating St. Louis’ 250th birthday by giving out free coupons on the MetroBus routes,” said May Scheve Reardon, executive director of the Missouri Lottery. “The MetroBus staff is wonderful, and the riders really seem to get a kick out of it.”

Wednesday’s winning MetroBus route will not be disclosed ahead of time, so it doesn’t ruin the surprise for Metro passengers. There are some hints, though. The specially wrapped STL250 MetroBus will pass by:

• Not one, not two, but five parks, including Forest Park;
• The Central West End MetroLink Station; and
• The Chase Park Plaza Hotel.
